It’s a flying woke Bus. And it’s gross.
Following the virtue-signaling protests against the new Georgia election integrity law, United Airlines has announced a shift in its hiring policies. The changes give preference to future pilots based on their gender and skin color.
The airline, which trumpeted the new policy via Twitter, will be devoted to ensuring that 50 percent of the estimated 5,000 pilots to be trained and hired over the next decade will be women and people of color. This is just the latest example of how the nation’s largest corporations have embraced official policies of discrimination against white men through toxic “woke” ideology and Critical Race Theory.
According to United, “Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people onboard our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color”.
Many find it a peculiar stance for a major airline to place more importance on hiring based on identity instead of solid piloting skills by eliminating qualified candidates. One of them is Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Carlson called out this dangerous lunacy on Wednesday’s edition of his popular show with a blistering monologue against United, where he questioned the airline’s skewed priorities. watch
United Airlines will become a joke as it goes woke! This is just another reason I refuse to fly commercial anymore. Whatever happened to hiring the best qualified person for the job of flying a commercial airliner no matter what race or gender or color they are? United Airlines needs to be boycotted until they cry Uncle and quit thinking that bowing to political correctness will gain them any benefit.
And quit using Rhapsody In Blue as the theme music for their airlines and replace it with musical chairs instead.
Woke healthcare next?

…didn’t there used to be EEOC regulations about race-based hiring discrimination? Isn’t there a 14th Amendment? Didn’t this guy say something once about not judging people on the color of their skin, but on the content of their character?
…guess none of that matters now. Invidious, institutionalized discrimination is back, and brought Jim Crow with it, but hey, it’s all right because it’s against White people who…had…nothing…to…do…with…past…discrimination…
All the Airlines have become ‘Woke’ in one way or another!
Safety third!
Can’t wait to call United Reservations and ask them if the pilot for the trip I’m trying to book is a diversity hire.
No more flying for me.
Good old United… Isn’t that the racist airline that got in trouble for dragging an ASIAN man off the plane? Where is the cancel culture’s outrage for something that happened years ago, but seems like only yesterday?!?
Training is also rayciss…Just strap em in and send em out !!!!
Talk about De-Population…A large Aircraft full of Odious Passengers…taking off
and landing in large Metropolitan areas…Might wanna move a tad ways from any
Major Airport…
I retired from the USAF. To be a AF pilot takes a very narrow skillset. To fly jets narrows down the field even more. Most of the jet pilots are skinny guys that are 5’5″-5’10” with Anglo-Saxon heritage.
There are stereotypes that are very real.
If I cite firsthand knowledge of minority and women student pilots in the Naval Aviation pipeline being given multiple remedial flights after multiple failed checkflights (downs), am I a racist/misogynist? After their second down, white students were sent packing… no review board, nothing… just gone.
What good would it do to boycott them the government will give them whatever money they need to proper!
The Navy tried this in 1994.
It resulted in death.
All hail Kara Hultgreen, who never should have been “the first combat qualified female naval aviator”.
janitor; took me 5 seconds to find this; Kara S. Hultgreen was a lieutenant and naval aviator in the United States Navy and the first female carrier-based fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy. She died just months after she was certified for combat, when her F-14 Tomcat crashed into the sea on final approach to USS Abraham Lincoln.
Never fly The Woke Skies of United Affirmative Action Airlines.
What, nobody put it here yet?

And my favorite clip knowing some former airline pilots…

Let me get this straight… Apparently, black people are incapable of getting and managing picture ID to vote, but they can learn to fly multi-engine commercial aircraft? How does that work exactly?
If you survive a United Airlines plane crash piloted by an affirmative action dim-wit, next stop will be an emegency room staffed by affirmative action doctors. When you go to sue for malpractice, you’ll hire an affirmative action lawyer who will present your case before an affirmative action judge.
Good luck.
